Indians decline option on reliever Boone Logan
The Indians declined to execute a $7M team option on lefty reliever Boone Logan this afternoon.
The move is not a surprise to people who pay attention to baseball, some of whom are reading this sentence. Hello, people. Logan injured his throwing arm with a high-grade strain of his latissimus dorsi muscle on July 19th against the Giants. He elected to skip surgery and will now test free agency with a hopefully-healed arm. The buyout costs the Indians $1M, freeing up an additional $6M to spend on payroll, in theory. Maybe they’ll buy a giant Mustard robot to attack Dre Knott. It’s not my money, you know?
